The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what we share with someone else when we're uncool.

About Me

I dig Easy Listening Music. I do. Really. Give me some Olivia Newton-John, Hall and Oats, Christopher Cross, Little River Band... Whatever. Don't get me wrong, I still like to rock. But lately I can't get enough of the easies.
I used to look at life as this incredibly hard struggle. I've learned over the last few years, that the less I resist, the easier it is. Acceptance is a beautiful gift that I'm leaning to utilize more and more. And the more that I accept the general ebb and flow of things... the more the universe comes alive for me. I feel more apart of things instead of the lone warrior fighting futile battles. I've learned this by enduring intensely difficult bouts of illness and I'm currently trying to apply this principle to the rest of my life.
I made up a nickname for my fella the other day... I call him "Awesome Geeky" now. AG for short. And I think I'd like to be awesome geeky one day too.
I'm on the verge of becoming a media geek. Media Relations to be exact. I welcome the challenge and hope to become a brainiac in all things media. I'm thrilled that I don't have to be anyone's secretary anymore. Only two more weeks and they'll have to make their own copies and fill our their own forms! YES!
